title: Retroperitoneoscopically assisted repair of an abdominoscrotal hydrocele.
abstract: We present a 2-month-old boy with a primary obstructive megaureter and a giant abdominoscrotal hydrocele (ASH) on the left side. The ASH was initially misdiagnosed as a fornix rupture with infrarenal urinoma, but clinical and radiological examination led to the right diagnosis. Retroperitoneoscopically assisted mobilization combined with the inguinal approach allowed the successful resection of this large ASH.
